Hi, I had some trouble on the field today with our BR2. It connected fine to QGC and Joystick was enabled. “Arming” the vehicle worked, tilting the camera and turning off/on the lights worked fine too. But the thrusters didn’t respond at all. The commands for putting in “depth hold” or “stabilize”…

I am having exactly the same issue here…

Update : I tried going back to the previous version of QGC that I was using : v4.0.5 Now everything works perfectly again. I guess there is a compatibility issue between the new Ardusub 4.1.0 and QGC 4.2.3 (i had updated QGC because it was the latest recommended version on the BlueRobotics website…

okay, I am going to try that today. Thanks a lot!! At least there is some way of fixing it.

Hi @katlea and @luuckiest , I believe we’ve had issues with this when ArduSub 4.1.0 ends up with parameters loaded from a previous version of ArduSub, but we haven’t yet determined which parameter is at fault. Interesting that QGC 4.0.5 seems to have worked normally for you. Would you be able to se…

Hi, Unfortunately I have the same problem as you all. In May 2022 I purchased the BlueRov for work, (Italian Maritime Firefighter) to integrate search and rescue operations. We succesfully completed the motor set up (Auto mode). When we tried the first dive in a controlled pool we couldn’t operat…

Hi @Cocis , welcome to the forum :slight_smile: As above, [image] Eliot: Would you be able to see if motor control via the joystick works as expected using QGC 4.2.3 if you reset all parameter via the Parameters page? Doing so may also require specifying the lights channel and battery monitor t…

Thank you very much for your help. After following your instructions the thrusters worked and we maneged to do the first dive which went well. Only the stabilze mode and depth hold mode made the ROV spin around. I ll have a look on this very helpfull forum to try and fix those. Thanks again Loren…

Thank you very much. This forum is very helpful and I managed to solve the problem. After I restore the parameters to default I didn’t noted that the roll90 option for autopilot was set to none. Thanks

Hello @EliotBR , I just tried this again (latest recommended QGC version + latest stable Ardusub) and the same problem still occurs. I tried Resetting the parameters through QGC, but that didn’t work. Any other ideas?
